Donald Trump feud causes panicking Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to call Ivanka and Melania in attempt to get the frontrunner BACK to the debate - but he'll only speak to Murdoch

Donald Trump's refusal to attend Fox News' debate on Thursday night has sent Fox News into chaos The network's CEO has reportedly reached out to both Ivanka and Melania Trump to try and get the Republican front-runner to change his mind He refuses to attend over the inclusion of anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the debate moderators and will only speak to network head Rupert Murdoch Kelly meanwhile welcomed liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on her program Tuesday night who applauded her handling of the Trump feud One Fox News anchor said of Moore and Kelly; 'That would be like Rachel Maddow laughing along with Charles Koch as he trashed Hillary Clinton!' Trump called Kelly a 'lightweight reporter' on Wednesday morning and his campaign manager said she is 'completely obsessed' with Trump

The Fox News and Donald Trump feud is heating up now that the Republican front-runner has announced he will not be attending the network's debate Thursday night over the presence of anchor Megyn Kelly.

And while the network appears to be publicly siding with Kelly, who is still set to moderate Thursday's debate, the network is also reportedly trying to privately plead with Trump the best way they know how - through the women in his life.

Joe Scarborough revealed on Morning Joe Wednesday morning that Fox News CEO Roger Ailes had been trying to contact both Ivanka and Melania Trump hoping they could convince Trump to change his mind.

He should be more like President Mitt Romney when Monica Crowley pummeled him. That impressed everyone.

If you think Megyn and Fox are ‘grownups’ I really don’t know how to help you. One is interested in self aggrandizement and promotion while the other is interested in MONEY. But you’re more concerned about Trump’s hairline than what a two-bit ho Megyn is and what she’d do to succeed. Lost cause.

“Trump looks like a petulant little 3rd grader here. Presidential?”

So you don’t want your president to stand his ground and not
put up with a bunch of liberal BS from some mouthy broad?
I guess you prefer he be like the groveling, attention
starved Jeb or Rubio. He’s the only guy in the race that can do
this and actually gain support for it and you think he’s a
petulant 3rd. grader. I guess you think Patton and Reagan
were too. ‘IS”

And in a stunning coup nobody saw coming, after firing Ailes, Murdock hired Rachael Maddow as the new Fox News director ...

Coulter never posed for such pictures, and neither has most conservative journalists. Megyn did.

The short skirt pics came from Ann who wears them routinely, and the phrase “leg lady” was coined after she appeared on Fox probably 10 years ago and a camera operator kept showing her legs. The liberal press at the time called conservatives ugly prudes, but the leg thing stuck. More and more “Fox babes” started wearing short dresses and the liberal press went nuts. Fox still uses the short dresses as a prop for ratings.

However, that shtick has gotten old and is now hurting Fox as being a serious journalist channel and not just social media commentators.

Oh, yes. I do certainly agree. I don’t give a crap about what some illegal or Muslim Jihadist thinks as a false or supposed American.

Has anyone heard if any of the other networks are going to carry Trump’s town hall? If so I’ll be tuning in...even if it’s MSNBC.

Murdoch is not being shy about chasing someone to join the debate on Thursday, but it is not Trump and rather Michael Bloomberg who he hopes will join the other contenders on stage.

He wrote on Twitter Wednesday; 'This is Bloomberg's last chance. You never know until your hat is in the ring! Events change everything, especially during elections.'

If this is true, all the other candidates should boycott. Bloomberg?

Coulter never did a ‘spread’ for GQ in a nighty and high heels displaying her wares, either. FYI, I’ve been here a while too.

You don’t read much do you? Trump is totally justified in pulling out this ambush. This Debate was added to give FOX another chance to embarrass Trump after their November ambush failed to have the desired results. ... Oh, wait, you don’t care about facts.... you just hate Trump.

What we see these days are not debates, and in any case there is no grand tradition regarding these so-called debates anyway. By the way, I am so sick and tired, 50+ years worth of sick and tired, of seeing Republicans meekly submitting to the nasty bullying members of the media. I am delighted to see a Republican candidate stand up these nasty little leftists and tell them to take a hike. It is about time. Trump would have my vote for this alone.

Why is it that some of you hate Trump so much that you cannot appreciate the good he is doing for our side?

So, you approve of Kelly throwing that “War On Women” crap at a Republican candidate for President? Has Coulter ever made such a bullshit charge about ANY Republican presidential candidate?

Only Liberal-Leftist “journalists” have made similar charges. And I HATE Leftists.

Oh and BTW: Where in the hell do you get the ridiculous idea that Megyn Kelly is a “conservative?”

I don’t have to prove anything. Burdon of Proof is always on the prosecution side.
